Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define Canada West as a location. The ultimate destination for many African Americans on the underground railroad was Canada West (present-day Ontario) between Buffalo and Detroit on the northern shore of Lake Erie.
2. Explain that Black Americans began to settle in Canada West as early as the 1820s, and, because the British Empire after 1833 prohibited slavery, fugitive slaves were safe there.
3. Note that the stronger fugitive slave law that Congress passed as part of the Compromise of 1850 made Canada an even more important refuge for African Americans.
4. Outline that between 1850 and 1860, the number of black people in Canada West rose from approximately 8,000 to at least 20,000.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
